same flow, new look



We did a full redesign of the Expert Assist deductions flows, but the income flows were migrated as-is and still needed more work.

  • Utilized existing Figma components from libraries
  • Simplified the experience
  • Reduced cognitive load for users
  • Ensured a light lift for developers by reusing patterns
